REF results due this month

(27 November 2014)

As you may have recently seen on StaffNet, and as referred to in the Message from the Dean this issue, work is underway in preparation for the publication of the Research Excellence Framework (REF) results on Thursday 18 December.

The University’s Division of Communications and Marketing has produced a communications plan to ensure that all staff are made aware of the REF results and they are working with the Faculty Communications and Marketing Team to provide Faculty and School level guidance and advice on communicating the results.

The REF results are important to the University as they determine future levels of research funding and position the University among other higher educations for the quality and impact of its research.
